Not that I'm trying to defend the NFL owners, but just because they're rich from other enterprises doesn't necessarily mean they should bend to the players' demands. The business has to be profitable on its own, regardless of the owners' wealth from other business.

Unbelievable contract for Jason Werth - 7 years and $126 million to play for the Nationals. He's 32 years old, made $7.5 million last year, and had his best year last year in a small ballpark with tons of good hitters around him. .296 batting average, 164 hits, .920 OPS.

That seems worthy of possibly a 5-year at $14 per, but still only if I were insane.

Unbeaten TCU is playing against Wisconsin in a BCS bowl. I'm glad they didn't pair TCU with a weak Connecticut team. That wouldn't prove anything. But Wisconsin is probably the toughest team out there besides Oregon and Auburn. Good luck to the non-BCS teams!

Russia will host the World Cup in 2018, and Qatar will host in 2022. I guess for 2022 they wanted a new country/region to host, since the other competitors for 2022 were the US, Japan, South Korea, and Australia (the Aussies have at least hosted an Olympics!).

Ummm...so why are the Yankees saying anything remotely considered negative about Derek Jeter? Suggesting he play the field if he doesn't like their contract offer is negative. They should just say, "We want Derek Jeter to continue as a Yankee" and just let the situation play out, and they'll be the good guys no matter what.

Why would you give Donovan McNabb a 5-year 78 million dollar contract extension when he's already 33 years old and isn't performing that well right now? Sometimes I think I could be a team's general manager. I'm more than willing to make big bucks and make foolish decisions with other people's money.
